The hotel room was fairly new and clean. Staff attended to my needs promptly. I enjoyed the balcony sitting out and enjoying my morning tea. It is very close to Taskim Square (4 - 5) minute walk wh I don't remember the front desk clerks name but she was outstanding. I was able to check-in a little earlier on my day of arrival. She guided me on some pertinent information. This hotel is good for a short stay as the room was small. Shower was good. Room had a small kitchenette. I had a pleasant stay.

KASEM

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
Very bad experience, when choosing a room on the WEB, I paid for a superior one that was more expensive than the standard one and, most importantly, was larger. However, upon arrival they gave me a small Barbie room, and when I said I had paid for a larger one, they told me that the photo must have been from another hotel of theirs. I had a very bad time, the bathroom does not have a single piece of furniture to leave things and I had to put the kettle on the floor, the closet did not have shelves or hangers, throughout the stay I had to leave my clothes in the bag. And to add to the bad experience, the internet and TV never worked.

I dont know where to begin.. This hotel with the people and service are top class! 10/10!!! Every time we needed something the staff came and helped us, they were available 24/7 for us. The location, the rooms are perfect - in the heart of Taksim and close to everything in Istanbul. We will without a doubt book this hotel again. We have been to several hotels in Istanbul these past years and this one is by far the best on all categories. Thank you for everything <3
